Hello im Barbara Starr youre watching aljazeera live from on that also coming out an arson attack on an Animation Studio kills at least 33 people in japan and that double blow for Boris Johnson its Parliament Block says no deal brets it plans and the e. U. Says theres something fishy about his keeper claims. And the thank you for joining us u. S. President donald trump has announced that a u. S. Warship has the story to any raney and drone in the strait of hormuz trump says the aircraft threaten the u. S. Ship by flying too close hes called on other countries to condemn their and protect their own vessels in the worlds busiest oil route this comes a month after iran shot down a u. S. Military drone with a surface to air missile tehran said the aircraft entered iranian waters but washington denied the allegation the boxer took defensive action against an iranian drone which had close into a very very near distance approximately 1000. 00 yards ignoring multiple calls to stand down and was threatening the safety of the ship and the ships crew the drone was immediately destroyed. Irans foreign minister denied any knowledge of a drone being shot down asea rives for a meeting at the u. N. In new york you may have been off the road. Well earlier Iranian State t. V. Reported that the revolutionary guards had seized the foreign tanker which theyve accused of trying to smuggle oil it was reportedly captured on sunday in the strait of hormuz and all 12 members were detained the ship is based in the United Arab Emirates but they have denied ownership of the vessel the u. S. State Department Says tehran Must Immediately release the vessel and its crew. Wasnt jordan is live for us in washington d. C. Just to give an overview of the various stories that were getting at here out of that area. Lets start with the u. S. Warship destroying an iranian drone at one of the comment have we had come out of the u. S. Well the pentagon isnt releasing any more information beyond what the president said it did confirm that the u. S. S. Boxer had an intervention as it were with a flying craft and did destroy it they did not say for fact that it was from iran certainly there hasnt been any of video or any photos of the device that apparently was threatening the safety of the crew of the u. S. S. Boxer but it is important to note that beyond that statement there doesnt seem to be any ratcheting up of the rhetoric from the trumpet ministration about this incident beyond the reiteration that its up to the iranians to change their International Posture and to try to be more diplomatic and more willing to heat the concerns of the United States and its allies. And that doesnt seem to be happening though obviously from an iranian side so how worried do you think not just the u. S. Administration is but just the general beyond it about a possible further ratcheting up of tensions between the 2 countries. Well certainly the u. S. Is a very concerned about what it considers irans quote maligned behavior and thats the u. S. Governments language not mine certainly there has been talk in recent weeks about establishing a sort of Patrol Service for. Commercial vessels us sailing in and out of the gulf how this would differ from an ongoing a joint Task Force Number 50 that has been conducted in the gulf for pretty much the same reason remains to be seen but the u. S. Does say that it is open to talking with iran about its Nuclear Ambitions the u. S. Certainly does not want to iran to develop a Nuclear Weapons arsenal and so there is a real question of how much is the u. S. Trying to will use diplomatic methods to resolve this standoff with the iranian government because there is no mistaking that there is a crisis between the United States and iran right now joining with the latest from washington d. C. Ross thank you meanwhile for suggest ari has more from tehran on the seizure of the oil tanker in the strait of hormuz. The revolutionary guard able forces where on an anti Smuggling Mission in the waters of the strait of hormuz when they came across this vessel on sunday they said that it was suspicious 3 cargo on board so they decided to investigate further and after about they decided that they needed to pursue legal venues to seize this vessel and that is what they did on sunday the revolutionary guard statement says that the vessel was seized near island in the strait of hormuz with 12 crew members on board apparently this vessel had fueled up from iranian dows where it was heading further south in the strait of hormuz to sell the fuel that it had on board that is when the iranians decided to carry out an operation and seize this ship of course this all comes at a time where tensions are very high in the strait of hormuz a number of incidents have taken place here and also noteworthy is the seizure of a new raney an oil tanker in the strait of gibraltar on july 4th where it caused Major Incident between the iranian government and the british because the british navy seized the grace one oil tanker which was carrying 2000000. 00 barrels of Iranian Crude Oil they said that it was heading to syria and that is why they seized that but they were angels have said that that was not the destination of that vessel and theyre demanding it to be returned this quickly as possible.
